Lennox

Labrador Retriever · Male · Senior · 11 years

Lennox is a calm and introspective dog and now an old grandfather. He is rather uncertain and has been wandering aimlessly and full of doubts for most of his life. The uncertainty of people has only intensified his uncertainties, so the situation has become critical - Lennox has already bitten; sometimes more, sometimes less. We took Lennox from the Hellhound Foundation, before he lived in the Delitzsch animal shelter - the old man has already experienced a lot and finally wants to arrive. During the day, Lennox can run great in our mixed-sex dog group - but when the tempers flare up, it's hard for him to calm down on his own. In a suitable and stable environment, Lennox shows himself as a great dog in everyday life! He is eager to work with his caregivers and is happy and everywhere with them. He wears his muzzle confidently and safely and his new people must be aware that this will always be part of Lennox's life! So if you want to give the old man another chance despite his history, you can contact us!

DE·Show original

Lennox ist ein ruhiger & in sich gekehrter Hund und mittlerweile auch schon ein alter Opi. Er ist eher unsicher und lief den Großteil seines Lebens haltlos & voller Zweifel durchs Leben. Die Ratlosigkeit der Menschen hat seine Unsicherheiten eher verstärkt, als sie aufzufangen, sodass sich die Lage irgendwann zugespitzt hat – Lennox hat bereits gebissen; mal mehr, mal weniger doll. Wir haben Lennox aus der Hellhound Foundation übernommen, zuvor lebte er im Tierheim Delitzsch – der alte Mann hat also schon vieles erlebt & möchte endlich ankommen dürfen. Tagsüber kann Lennox super in unserer gemischt-geschlechtlichen Hundegruppe mitlaufen – doch wenn die Gemüter sich erhitzen, dann fällt es ihm schwer von allein wieder herunterzukommen. Im passenden und stabilen Umfeld zeigt sich Lennox im Alltag als toller Hund! Er hat Lust mit seinen Bezugspersonen zu arbeiten und ist gerne & überall mit dabei. Seinen Maulkorb trägt er souverän & sicher und seine neuen Menschen müssen sich im Klaren sein, dass dieser auch immer für Lennox zum Leben gehören wird! Wer dem Opa also trotz seiner Vorgeschichte noch einmal die Chance auf ein Leben geben möchte, das er verdient hat, darf sich sehr gerne melden!

About Lennox

What life with Lennox looks like

Lennox is a large senior labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierheim Lübeck in Lübeck.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lennox, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lennox?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Lübeck handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lennox on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lennox if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Lübeck will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Lennox already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Lennox isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim Lübeck early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lennox and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
